I only briefly googled it, once I knew it wasn't a gems problem, and came 
up with:

thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ ruby 9.rb 
mysql
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ nl 9.rb 
     1	require 'rubygems'
     2	require 'activerecord'
     3	require 'feed_tools'
     4	require 'yaml'
       
       
     5	 #db = YAML.load_file("database.yml")  #how is this different 
from ::load ?
       
     6	 dbconfig = YAML::load(File.open('database.yml'))  
     7	 foo = (dbconfig["development"]["adapter"])
       
       
     8	puts foo
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ nl database.yml 
     1	development:
     2	   adapter: mysql
     3	#  adapter: sqlite3
     4	   host: 127.0.0.1
     5	   database: rss2mysql
     6	   username: ruby
     7	   password: password  #err, don't steal my "secret" password
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 
thufir@ARRAKIS:~/projects/rss$ 



So, I'm mostly "there", I'm just a bit unfamiliar with the ?hash? symbol, 
=>, as well as the :symbol syntax.  

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
